So it has altogether been too long since I posted on here. My accuracy at 36aweek isn't working out too well at the moment but please forgive me and we'll soldier through.

The post I want to talk about today is Architectural Digest. I saw an advert on the side of a bus and it sparked some inspiration.

Following that up I looked into it and found a lot of things that were inspirational. So in 36aweek style, thought I would share it with you.

I would eat breakfast on the tiny deck on the other side of the house. The solitude of nature and the stillness in the lake would instill in me a calmness that I would carry on through my day. I would live my days in the way I wanted them to be, instead of how I would like them to be. I would be a complete person, no longer sacrificing what is dear to me, but embracing it every day and being truly grateful for it. Do you get that from this? Or is it just me...

Some places are meant to cleanse your soul and repair your heart. This feels like one of those places. What better place than in the sky, away from the chaos playing out in the land below and closer to the clarity and divinity located in the sky.

This is just a beautiful piece of work. It's actually a hotel which is a bit of a shame, I really wanted it to be a extension of an elaborate house, probably a library which you would go to sit in when the sun was setting, with a book that totally captured your imagination. And looking out around you the water would reflect the sky and for a moment of a day you might feel like you were suspended and at peace. That's how I would like to live out my days. If that isn't inspiration...

All in the pages of Architectural Digest.. who knew!

The way this blog written is what interests me, it comes from a personal, diary-like state which makes for an insightful read. You feel like you learn more about the person from what they don't say and the things you figure out just in the way they write things. I found some time of a day to wonder through it and explore the realms of someone else's (more interesting) life!

And hey! everyone wants to slip into someone else shoes once in a while. Indulge in living in the skin of another. Blogs can be great for doing this, especially photographic ones. Showing you the true reality of someones exsistence. This is one is riddled with honesty and snapshots.

Welcome to Emily Rotter.

Stumbleupon.com

Have 'stumbled' across something very interesting! It's called Stumbleupon.com and in my opinion a revolutionary way to use the Internet.

It works by ticking the categories that you are interested in and then Stumbleupon generates pages related to what you chose. So you can wonder through [ages and pages of things - as mostly happens on the Internet - but everything is related to you and your interests!

You can use it for fun, you can use it for work, it really can be utilised to almost anything!

If you like to browse through the web and are interested in different things that are happening in certain fields you have interests in then this is a must.

I have a wonderful friend who sends me the most inspirational things. I felt to share this one with you in the hope that it may resonate with you as it did with me. My thanks to you.
